On 01.02.02, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Too late for surgery, I had chemotherapy, which failed. In May the chemotherapy was changed and I was soon in remission which was celebrated and welcome and lasted nine years - until October 2011. There was progression in 2011 so more treatment was indicated and I am now back in partial remission. But I'm not only a cancer patient - I also enjoy my family, walk my dogs and am learning to draw and paint. Life is good!

'Tis the season of bounty

The cherry tomatoes I planted last April just don't know when to stop. I keep refilling the bowl, but we eat them like candy so they go fast - but these days, there are always more.

During the summer I read and mentioned Jonah Raskin's book, FIELD DAYS, about his professorial sabbatical year spent working on a local organic farm. Oak Hill Farm is actually just spittin' distance from our home so we drove out to pick up some veggies.


Now I have the makings for two two pots of soup - vegetable and potato/leek.

While we were shopping the doggies patiently waited in the car.
